How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then processed by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear.This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio sta-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions inthe area.
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre-
quencies. These long distance, low
frequency radio waves can follow the
curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight. In addition, they
curve around obstructions resulting
in better signal coverage.

Multimedia System
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the earth's surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally
begin to fade within short distances
from the station. Also, FM signals are
easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains, and obstructions. This can lead
to undesirable or unpleasant listen-
ing conditions which might lead you
to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio
trouble: Fading - As your vehicle moves
away from the radio station, the
signal will weaken and sound will
begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select anotherstronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-turb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this
effect until the disturbance clears. Station Swapping - As an FM sig-
nal weakens, another more power-ful signal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,select another station with astronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from sever-
al directions can cause distortion
or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and reflected signal from
the same station, or by signals
from two stations with close fre-
quencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the conditionhas passed.

Features of your vehicle
Satellite radio reception
You may experience difficulties in
receiving Sirius XM™
satellite radio
signals in the following situations.
If you are driving in a tunnel or a covered parking area.
If you are driving beneath the top level of a multi-level freeway.
If you are driving under a bridge.
If you are driving next to a tall vehi- cle (such as a truck or a bus) that
blocks the signal.
If you are driving in a valley where the surrounding hills or peaks
block the signal from the satellite. If you are driving on a mountain
road where is the signal blocked by
mountains.
If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (30 ft.
/10m or more), for example on an
road that goes through a dense for-est.
The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered
by the Sirius XM™ repeater net-
work. Information
There may also be additional unfore-
seen circumstances leading to recep-
tion problems with the Sirius XM™
satellite radio signal.
Advisory Messages, such as 'CH
Unavailable' may occur when starting
Sirius XM™ Radio.

What to do in an emergency

InformationAn inappropriately disposedbattery can be harmful to the
environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local law(s)
or regulations.
To prevent damage to your vehi-
cle:
Only use a 12-volt power supply (battery or jumper system) to
jump start your vehicle.
Do not attempt to jump start your vehicle by push-starting.Jump starting procedure
1. Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles totouch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the engine compartment at all
times, even when the vehicles are
turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park)
and set the parking brakes. Turn
both vehicles OFF.
Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the trunk
compartment.

(Continued)
NEVER attempt to recharge
the battery when the vehicle’s
battery cables are connected
to the battery.
The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
NEVER touch these compo-nents with the engine running
or when the ignition switch isin the ON position.

What to do in an emergency
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
may illuminate after blinking for
one minute if the vehicle is near
electric power supply cables or
radio transmitters such as police
stations, government and public
offices, broadcasting stations,
military installations, airports,
transmitting towers, etc.
Additionally, the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may illuminate if snow
chains are used or electronic
devices such as computers, charg-
ers, remote starters, navigation,
etc. This may interfere with normal
operation of the TPMS.
Changing a Tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. Have the flat tire repaired
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible or replace the
flat tire with the spare tire. The spare tire (if equipped) does not
come with a tire pressure monitoring
sensor. When the low pressure tire orthe flat tire is replaced with the spare
tire, the Low Tire Pressure Telltale
will remain on. Also, the TPMSMalfunction Indicator will illuminate
after blinking for one minute if the
vehicle is driven at speed above 25
km/h (15.5 mph) for approximately
20 minutes.Once the original tire equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring sensor isreinflated to the recommended pres-
sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the Low Tire Pressure Telltale andTPMS Malfunction Indicator will go
off within a few minutes of driving.
If the indicators do not extinguish
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Each wheel is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem (except for
the spare tire). You must use TPMS
specific wheels. It is recommended
that you always have your tires serv-
iced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
You may not be able to identify a tire
with low pressure by simply looking
at it. Always use a good quality tire
pressure gauge to measure. Pleasenote that a tire that is hot (from being
driven) will have a higher pressuremeasurement than a tire that is cold.
NOTICE

It is recommended that you do not use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by
HYUNDAI dealer to repair
and/or inflate a low pressure
tire. Tire sealant not approved
by HYUNDAI dealer may dam-
age the tire pressure sensor.
